demonstrate both the need for that spectrum and the responsible, efficient use of the
spectrum. It must also dramatically improve its ability to quantitatively establish the
technical, cost, schedule, and safety implications of reduced access and control.
The emergence of the RCC’s frequency management metrics standard coupled with tools
like the one presented in this paper seek to provide the means to better manage and defend
needed T&E spectrum.
